My eidetic memory kicked in, and I was indeed able to match the descriptions with the actual movie shot for shot, as you state. Well done.

I've always believed that you don't need to focus on the camera crap as William Goldman calls it, and you should be able to describe things visually, and use paragraph breaks for different shot descriptions within the scene itself.

Walter Hill.

Brief. Biting. Grim.

Ideal scene description.

Is it considered poor practice to switch the narrative style depending on the mood you're trying to draw in a specific scene?

I could see this style working in a horror film as someone runs from the threat and then hides.

However, after that, perhaps the writer wants to switch to a style that fits that person explaining their fear to their friends or the law enforcement in the next scene.

@Carlos: That's a terrific question. How about if I take that up as a separate GITS post?

Thanks for your note at the end about "one-size-doesn't-fit-all." I kept thinking that as I read. It is definitely attractive though.
